NOTHING BUNDT CAKES BISCOFF COOKIE BUTTER REVIEW

Sweet dreams are made of cookie butter cake! Last week Nothing Bundt Cakes launched their newest pop-up bundtlet flavor for fall, Biscoff Cookie Butter. An immediate yes. Someone over there is seriously working overtime these days to kill my diet, y'all, but how could I not??! It looks, sounds and smells scrumptious! 

The latest greatest features a spiced cake baked with Biscoff cookies, the signature NBC frosting and a drizzle of cookie butter on top. I’ve always loved Biscoff cookies and cookie butter desserts, there was no way I was missing this one! Before you could buy them in grocery stores, Biscoff cookies were only really available on airplane flights. Growing up my dad flew all of the time and would always bring extras back home for us! Even now I still love getting them whenever I fly, they are so good and it gives me a little bit of nostalgia. I love the warm, sweet and cinnamony flavor. They're decadent, delicious and also a perfect flavor profile for fall. I think this was an excellent fall pop-up choice and as expected, it's a winner in my book! 

In my review of the Caramel Apple Cider Pop-up Bundtlet, I mentioned how much I love the spiced cake flavor. It’s so yummy and as far as I can tell, the cake is the exact same or very close to the one used for both the Apple Cider and the Snickerdoodle flavor they used to carry. It’s cinnamony and delicious! Not too much spice, just the perfect hint of warmth. It also pairs really well with the cookie butter and frosting, you can’t go wrong. I was a little surprised that the cookie butter flavor is more on the mild side- you just get a hint from the drizzle on top. I have a huge sweet tooth so I would have loved a cookie butter filled center for a little extra richness! Still yummy nonetheless and worth the splurge! 

With one week left for this pop-up flavor, I’d definitely snatch one of these up quick! If you’re a cookie butter fan, it's a must try!

THE RE-RETURN OF TACO BELL'S CARAMEL APPLE EMPANADA

Mother Nature called with the crimson tide today and I answered by ordering Taco Bell's re-released Caramel Apple Empanada. I use to loveeeeee these when I was a kid, I'm so excited they brought them back again with the Y2K menu. They initially brought them back for a limited time last fall, however I played myself and missed out. "Nothing haunts us like the things we don't buy" couldn't be more true here- I've had all the ragrets ever since. When they announced they were coming back again, I knew I couldn't mess around this time! 

Today was the day and it was a delicious one. These still hit, ya'll. I wracked my brain trying to go way back when for a comparison of the empanada then vs. now, however the lines are definitely blurred. I don't think I ate enough back then to really lock in the taste memory. Some things like Burger King's Strawberry Cheesecake or Dunkaroo's I could nail- this one is hard to say. I've seen some mixed comments from others that it's both the same and different, lol. Regardless of that, I think it's super tasty and a great comeback item. 

Mine was made fresh and came out hot and crispy. The shell of the empanada is crispy with a sweet apple pie filling inside. There is definitely more filling sauce than actual apples inside, however mine still had several and I didn't mind that. I do think maybe the original ones had a higher apple ratio, however I can't be 100 on that. The actual taste of the filling is super yummy- it's almost identical to apple pie/cobbler filling, however I picked up a hint more sweetness from the caramel flavor. The apples were very tender and soft too, no crunchiness! All in all, it's definitely worth a rebuy or try if you've never had one. 

If they wanted to revamp and elevate it a bit, rolling it in some cinnamon sugar would be so bomb. It definitely isn't super spice/cinnamon heavy and I personally wouldn't mind a bit more thrown in there! All in all, a sweet trip down memory lane and good enough to get again!

NOTHING BUNDT CAKES CARAMEL APPLE CIDER REVIEW

Nothing Bundt Cakes released the perfect fall pop-up flavor: Caramel Apple Cider. This flavor features an apple cider cinnamon spice cake coated in apple cinnamon sugar, a caramel filling and their classic cream cheese frosting with a caramel drizzle on top. While apple flavors can be hit or miss for me, I immediately knew I had to try this one just based on the cake. It reminded me a lot of the Snickerdoodle flavor they use to sell which had a cinnamon spiced cake and was absolutely delicious. I hope they bring it back one day- it was one of my favorites! 

Of all the pop-up flavors I've tried this year, this has to be my favorite. It is absolutely worth the splurge: calories, cash and all. I think they absolutely nailed the flavor- it tastes just like apple cider. The description actually says the cake is baked with apple cider which was a great move- there isn't anything artificial or fake tasting here. It's also perfectly fluffy at room temperature with the perfect hint of spice. Ya'll know I am picky with the spices- I don't like anything too nutmeg heavy when it comes to desserts. This one is absolutely perfect- definitely a sweeter spice. I love the apple cinnamon coating on the outside too, it gives a little extra texture and looks great. 

While the cake itself is sweet, the cream cheese frosting and caramel sauce up the sweetness even more for an incredible combination. I also like the caramel sauce used- it isn't too overpowering or overly rich. Caramel is a pretty strong flavor profile and while you definitely taste it here, it's still very complimentary with the other flavors. It doesn't take over the cake or frosting and the consistency is nice: sticky but not too thick. By the second day, my bundtlet started to absorb some of the sauce which gave it a yummy glaze-like coating. 

Definitely a 10/10 for taste, texture + presentation! This is a limited time pop-up flavor that I will definitely repurchase again. It is quintessentially fall and a great execution of an apple flavored dessert. We'll see how it compares to the pumpkin spice flavor- stay tuned for a review on that one! 

Are you team apple or team pumpkin?
